West Ham are closing in on a deal to sign Slavia Prague left-back El Hadji Malick Diouf.
The 20-year-old Senegal international is travelling to London to undergo a medical and complete a move to the London Stadium for around £20million.
Diouf is set to become West Ham’s first new signing of the summer, as they start to reinvest the £55m they received for Mohammed Kudus.
The defender has four caps for Senegal and impressed as they beat England 3-1 at the City Ground in June.
Diouf, who can play as a full-back and a winger, enjoyed a breakthrough campaign last season as he scored seven and assisted four goals in 41 appearances.
West Ham have also completed the permanent signing of Jean-Clair Todibo from Nice this summer but Diouf will be the first new arrival for Graham Potter.
Slavia Prague manager Jindrich Trpisovsky has said of Diouf: “He's a player with extraordinary qualities, and he will have them for the future.”
West Ham have travelled to the Black Forest in Germany for a week-long training camp before they then travel to the USA for the Premier League Summer Series at the end of July.
